Matthew Liao is new Editor of the Journal of Moral Philosophy

After 10 years, I have stepped down as Editor of the Journal of Moral Philosophy. I founded the JMP to fill an important gap in the literature and delighted to see how the journal has gone from strength to strength over the years. We now received over 250 submissions annually and have an acceptance rate of about 5-8%.

I am delighted to announce that S. Matthew Liao (New York University) has agreed to serve as Editor from January 2013. I will join a new team of "Associate Editors" that will include Tim Mulgan (St Andrews) and others to be confirmed shortly. This is fantastic news for the JMP and I'm thrilled that Matthew is now in place as the journal continues to go from strength to strength.

About Me

I'm Professor of Law and Government at Durham University's Law School. I'm also Associate Member of the Philosophy Department. I'm originally from New Haven, Connecticut and currently a Visiting Fellow at Yale Law School. I've previously held visiting positions at Oxford, St Andrews and Uppsala and previously taught at Newcastle University. I'm founding editor of the Journal of Moral Philosophy which I started in 2003 while a graduate student.

My current research interests are immigration law and policy (esp citizenship) and sentencing law and policy (esp theories of punishment and the use of sentencing guidelines). I'm also working on the capabilities approach and global justice as well as my longstanding interests in the work of Hegel and the British Idealists.
